I am 100% sure that the ranting and raving and constant swearing from these
"drill instructors" is totally uncalled for and pointless.

One wonders what their home life is like. Have they ever done "pillow talk"

A friend of mine in his national service days, as any self respecting public
school boy would, felt he it only correct that he should at least offer to
become an officer. The selection board wrote of him.....
"We can find no reason, apart from that of idle curiosity, why anyone would
wish to follow Private Winthorpe into battle" - however he later became
chairman of a major lubricant company.

Typical of the whiny little brats these days, they
enlisted in theeh Army!!! What did they expect???
Oh that's right, their soo use to Mommie and Daddy
trying to be their best freinds instead of parents and
when the first person at "Boot Camp" yells at them
they cry bloody murder. I tell ya, if this country
ever had to face a war like our guys did back in WW2
this country would get their ass kicked.
